Mass Effect Andromeda Romance Guide – All Romances

In Mass Effect Andromeda you can have romances with many characters. This guide shows you how to romance everyone.

First of all, it’s important to note that you can pick a male character (Scott) or female (Sara) at the start of the game. This will determine who you can romance. Some characters that you can romance are bisexual. There’s also a trophy / achievement called “Matchmaker” for completing romances with three different characters.

Below you can find the required dialogue options. They are in chronological story order.

A general piece of advice: when talking to a char that you can romance, listen carefully. Do not upset them. Picking the emotional dialogue choices is usually best. If you think you did something wrong reload the last autosave. Most importatly, you will see a big heart icon during some conversations (). Always pick that one, it lets you flirt with your partner and improves the relationship. All of them are your teammates, found on the Tempest spaceship. Talk to them regularly between missions. Also do their loyalty missions when they become available. Frequently read your emails aboard the Tempest, some of them lead to new romance quests. Please note that committing to an exclusive relationship will lock you out of other romances. An exception is Keri, she can always be romanced regardless of your relationship status.
